Fibonacci? That's a recent invention, right?


not sure what you mean?

coding a simple function for evaluating the fibonacci sequence is a reasonable alternative to FizzBuzz that allows for some slightly more sophisticated requirements: like "code a recursive function that evaluates the first N members of the fib sequence. use memoization in your implementation and show how this runs in O(n) time complexity."


I think he was joking based on the fact that the Fibonacci number is at least an eight hundred year old concept.
